At Detroit Yoga Lab, we practice yoga beyond just the postures. We show up as our true selves, for ourselves and for each other, to unlock the healing medicine within us.
Our Classes
At Detroit Yoga Lab, we’re not just here to move your body—we’re here to help you come back to yourself. Our classes are designed to support your nervous system, not override it. We teach with structure, but without dogma. We offer depth, but leave the ego at the door. Every sequence is crafted with intelligence and intention, blending breath, mindfulness, and movement in a space that feels as calm and clear as the practice itself. Come as you are, and leave more whole—restored by intentional practice and the healing power of infrared heat.

Pre + Post HOT Yoga Tips
Before Class:
- Dress appropriately.
- Drink Plenty of Water.
- Avoid Perfumes and Lotions.
- Go Easy on Your Meals.
- You may feel dizzy or lightheaded. This is normal. Feel free to sit, lie down, drink water, or leave the room.
After Class:
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
It’s crucial to replenish your fluids. Drink plenty of water, and consider adding electrolytes to your drink to restore balance.
Nourish Your Body
After a hot yoga class, your body needs nutrients to recover. Opt for a light, balanced meal or snack with plenty of protein, healthy fats, and fresh veggies.
Cool Down Gently
Take a few moments to continue stretching or do some gentle yoga poses to help your body cool down slowly. This can reduce muscle stiffness and help you relax.
Take a Lukewarm Shower
Jumping straight into a cold shower might shock your system. Instead, opt for a lukewarm shower to bring your body temperature down gradually, then finish with cooler water to close your pores.
Rest and Reflect
Give yourself permission to rest. A short nap or some quiet time can help your body recover. Reflect on your practice and the benefits you’re feeling.
Listen to Your Body
Every body is different. Pay attention to how you’re feeling. If you’re sore, consider a gentle massage or Epsom salt bath to ease any tension.
